01.11.11 | Yeah Davey, they were completely catastrophic. I saw alot of videos on the news in the past hour, and it's just ridiculous - it's almost as if we'd been hit by a Tsunami, I guess. Most of the Brisbane CBD's already flooded hugely, and it's only getting worse. |

01.11.11 | "is it freshwater or salt water?"
Record summer rainfall has caused 'freshwater' rivers to flood large parts of eastern and north-eastern Australia. The flash flood that tore through the city of Toowoomba was described as an 'inland' tsunami. |

01.11.11 | I think it was a croc joke. |

acADHDemy
01.11.11 | I had this nightmare when I was a kid, that the streets of my hometown flooded and there were great white sharks everywhere.
and really the number one thing i think of when I think of australia is great white sharks
so a salt water flood/tsunami in australia would be pretty messed up
but tell me that wouldn't make an awesome b-movie |

01.11.11 | It is pretty much an inland tsunami, 1000's of homes lost and many life's endangered, and some unfortunately already lost. Such a horrible thing to be happening. Yet in complete contrast, on the other side of the country at the same time wildfire's are burning rapidly also destroying homes and people life's. Australia is in dire straights at the moment, please give all you fellow Aussie's to the following cause: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html |

hope everyone else is alright though. |
Puzzles
01.12.11 | So anyway, we've left the house now and we're staying with relatives. The first floor of our house is apparently more than halfway flooded, and it's only going to get worse this arvo and tomorrow. At this point, there are 90 missing and 10 dead, with more to come. @Powerban dude, from what I've heard, Caboolture isn't a pretty place to be. Take care and stay alive, man. |
Vooligan
01.12.11 | Good luck dudes. |
Powerban
01.12.11 | it's really just a waiting game. i know i'll be fine since i have a high set house and all, but it doesn't take away the anxiety of how close that river is and all the people that have been affected. i walked down the street yesterday and counted over 40 cars underwater and watched the river grow. it's really something i never thought would happen here.
at least there hasn't been much rain for the last 12 hours but it's only the tide that is the problem at the moment. plus they reckon tomorrow will be the worst of it all. it just feels so eerie here at the moment. |
StreetlightRock
01.12.11 | That's nuts man. Hope everything turns out okay for you. |

01.12.11 | Nuts indeed. There are no exaggerations here... This is a disaster. Good luck guys. Take care. |
liledman
01.12.11 | yeah i really cant imagine what it would be like if this was in melbourne, saying the yarra was flooding into the cbd or something like that. its fucking insane. i know a couple of dudes in qld and they have a whole bunch of photos on facebook now, going down their street in a dinghy.
be safe all those further north. dont know whether i feel luckier being more at risk of bushfires... |
Captain North

And Kimm I'll get back to you once I check out the news. The water's just rising still, and apparently at 3am tomorrow there will be a king tide which will push the overall peak to 2 metres higher. |

Won't stop f**king raining in Vic this week either. And it's damn humid too... |

01.13.11 | Yeah Davey, I heard about the rain in Victoria, it doesn't seem too enjoyable. It's not raining at all up here, it's just a normal summer's day if you're not driving around floodwaters. @Sanders - best wishes man, I hope your friend is all right. Although it's no picnic here, we feel really fortunate in not having to deal with what Toowoomba has. |
